The lake is surrounded by cliff and
their
echo broke quiet circumstance.
Near the lake, we ate biscuit and took
a
rest.
After that, we ate ham and cheese, bread
and wine at a restaurant.Ham and bread were
tasted good.
We were back to Kandensterg on foot, not
by chair lift. On the way to the station,
it began to rain. The fine weather person
Toshi may be tired?
We were going down the trail seeing
falls
on the left side.
It took about one and half hours to
the station.
After we bought picture post card at
a gift
shop in the town, we got on a train.
It takes about 50 minutes from Kandensterg
to Speitz.
If we took the super express train
to Montreux
late evening.
We decided to a local train which would
depart
in 7 minutes.
We went Zweisinmmen and changed train
there.
This train looked old and a typical
local
train. On the way to Montreux, we saw
a panoramic
super express train and it had a land
view
car and a dinner car. It looked gorgeous.
We recommend you take this panoramic
super
express train if you have a time.
After long trip in a local train with
slow
speed, we suddenly found a large lake.
It is Lake Leman!! It looked like the
sea
and we could not see the other side
of the
lake.
After we arrived at Montreux, we took
a taxi
to the hotel.
The taxi driver was so kind that he
explained
this city and advised us the closing
time
of shops and how to reach Chateau de
Chillon.
We checked in Helvetie Hotel. The hotel
clerk looked at us and said "Are you
Mr.& Mrs. KANAI?"
"Why did he know us??"(@_@)
This hotel looked old, but it was neat.
When
we opened the door of our room, we
were surprised
at the width of the room. We thought
we could
put another bed in the room. The bath
room
was also wide and we felt happy that
we could
take a bath. Further we could see
the Lake
Leman from the balcony.
Before the sun set, we wanted to walk in
the city and take for a walk around the lake.
It took about 5 minutes to the lake. Owing
to strong wind, the wave went up and reached
to paved trail. It looked like the ocean.
Taking for the walk, we felt hungry, so we
entered the restaurant Hostellerie de lac.
A waiter is pleasant and funny. He was Italian?
He asked us in Japanese. "Oishii? Oishii?"
We first ordered beer and then omelet, consomme
soup, salad and pasta.
That taste was very nice, so we were very
happy.
We recommend this restaurant to eat. Shops
in Montreux close at 6:30 p.m. as the taxi
driver advised us.
After we were satisfied with the dinner,
we directly went back to the hotel and took
a bath.
When TOMO had a bath, Toshi had already
gone
to bed and slept well.
